What is the main benefit of using polyurethane bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings are generally more durable and resistant to wear and tear than rubber. They maintain their shape better under load, which helps to keep suspension geometry more consistent and can improve steering precision.

Do these bushings come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the polyurethane bushings themselves. You will typically need to reuse your original hardware or source new hardware separately, depending on the condition of your existing components.

How difficult is the installation of these control arm bushings?

Installation involves removing the old rubber bushings and pressing in the new polyurethane ones. While it's a direct replacement, it requires basic suspension knowledge and tools. It's often recommended to have a shop press or a specialized tool for easier removal and installation.

Product Details

If you're working on the front end of your 1998-2005 Subaru Impreza, these front control arm bushings from Prothane are a solid option for replacing worn-out stock rubber. These bushings are made from Prothane's red polyurethane, a material known for its durability and ability to hold its shape under stress. Replacing the old, cracked rubber bushings with these polyurethane ones can make a noticeable difference in how your car handles.

When rubber control arm bushings wear out, they can allow for excessive movement in the suspension. This often translates to vague steering feel, less precise cornering, and sometimes even clunking noises. By installing these Prothane bushings, you're essentially giving your suspension a more solid connection point. This can lead to improved steering response and a more connected feel to the road, especially when you're pushing the car a bit harder or navigating uneven surfaces. They are designed to fit right into the factory control arms, making installation straightforward for someone comfortable with suspension work.
